Wow Mario how long did take to tear down tgat mining scoop to bare frame? And how does the labor rate on that work? Manufacturers book time I'm assuming?

When all goes well the machine is stripped in a week. Complete job takes about 8 weeks start to finish and complete certified rebuild, with new serial number and full warranty. Costs around 400K.

Machines are done and have all decals on them and bucket installed. I'll get some pics of them and post next week.

Look great I will have some pictures to go to for reference..

I guess you could say I made my own MFU switch box today! just like the real deal, 3 switches and a volume knob.







one for powering the ESC's , one for sound module power and one for aux marker lights.
thanks for looking.

Mario that is thinking I really like this idea. But you better slow down and give your brain a rest, or you may have a meltdown. Great job buddy.

Thanks for your kind words guys

got some progress to report on the dump truck. thanks to 1985kenworth ( Dwayne) who posted pics of some air cleaner guards, I really liked the idea and thought I would add to this build. this truck is going to follow the look or theme Susans black pete. Black and chrome but a Kenworth. I think these will add a nice touch once the body is painted.
I think I have the size, lines and angle correct? please let me know what ya think












and the latest video showing all the goodies stuffed into a day cab and yet comes on and off easy enough!

Thanks Big John. I think the guard turned out not bad and is close enough to capture the look I'm trying to capture.

I think these would fit mean green perfectly! No painting required! Lol
A great way to improve stock suspension without breaking the bank and gives a infinite range of suspension strength depending on application. I admit they are not a scale looking shock but a great way to improve suspension strength! Oil filled and with adjustable spring tension works great. No modifying or extra hardware required to install.

I've purchased from this guy many times and had absolutely no trouble. Arrives from Hong Kong in just over a week for me.

Truck is coming along nicely Mario!! I like your hidden switch trick, was trying to use that step for a receiver but did not work for me, so I left it alone.

[cabrover]

Looking good Mario,!! This helps me with some daycab issues I am also going through. Keep up the great work!! Cant wait to see the truck finished!!

[flatdeck]

Looks great Mario.. Lots of nice detail...

Looks great Mario. What happens if the battery dies while the box is down? Is there a back up plan?
